Cloud Systems
Overview
When building an app, a database is needed to store all of the information to be updated and accessed later on, whether it is user information, user authentication, or the content to display on the app. Spezi can assist connecting to a backend database, using Google Firebase, which allows for data storage, facilitates login and registering accounts, and running data analytics.
While Google Firebase is currently the default, it is possible to store the database of information in other cloud platforms. In fact, all Spezi modules are cloud agnostic and can easily be connected with any provider, including custom servers! We are hoping to integrate Amazon Web Services (AWS) and other platforms in the future.
